New York City: On the eve of the 9/11 weekend 2011 the 10th year anniversary was the topic of the day. We traveled to New York to close a deal with a New York City Production Company to film a series of Live Stream shows that will promote original Belizean content. The deal was done and we now have the outlet that will allow Belizean stories to be seen by Belizeans outside of the country our stories and images of Belize can be streamed to any smart phone or computer in real time. Just imagine if we want to see the elections from Belize live and in real time from anywhere in the world we can do it. Look out world, you'll be seeing a lot more about our beautiful little country by way of a deal that was done through the great city of New York, New York.

I just wanted to share some behind the scene footage of a shoot with a Korean TV crew that came to Belize to film the many wonders of our special country. Here we are down in the southern part of the country in a village called Hopkins. Our host is getting some direction from one of the local musical giants Ras Pin on how to play the drum. I hope you enjoy

Minister Herredia was the perfect host for our comedy VIP's, Mr. Faizon Love, Tony Roberts and the Breakthrough Star crew. Min. Herredia celebrated the 2nd year of San Pedro hosting an event at the beautiful Karma Lounge. The setting was amazing as the moonlight night gave us an incredible ambiance for a night with the international dignitaries partied on Ambergris Caye. San Pedro really represented us well to the international film community as the Karma Lounge spared no expense when it came to decorating the beach front for the screening. The Hollywood Stars that attended were really impressed with what the island had to offer and how friendly everyone was on Ambergris Caye. I want to thank Breakthrough Stars for bringing the celebrities, NICH, Horacio Guerrera for putting on a wonderful event and Karma Lounge for hosting such a classy outing. Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 2012 festival.

SEPTEMBER CELEBRATIONS CALENDAR OFFICIALLY PRESENTED
1 September 2011 No Comment
Belize will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Independence this month and the National Celebrations Commission along with other partners are planning on celebrating the occasion with added flare.
Activities began today with the launch of the 2011 September Celebrations calendar of events. Co-Chair of the National Celebrations Commission, Diane Haylock highlights some of the main activities planned for this year.
Diane Haylock – Co-chair National Celebrations Commission
“We felt that we needed to do more than simply just have the parties and the celebratory kind of events and also infuse in it some discourse, some reflections on what these 30 years of Independence have meant to us as a people and as a nation. We also realize that everything could not be done in the month of September so we started the celebrations early by having this launch today and between now and December there is at least one activity happening each month. One of the activities we are hoping that we will be able to realize is the hosting of a forum of our four Prime Ministers. The requests have been made but we don’t have confirmation as yet about their participation. They have their own reflections and views about what these 30 years have meant so it is an opportunity for them to share their own thoughts and ideas about it and do some projections about what they would like to see happen in the next 30 years if you will. We are going to be doing a lot of the usual things and making these things bigger and better so for instance like with carnival, we’ve increased the prizes for carnival in a big way. With carnival we are looking at getting bands to participate not just from Belize City. A new thing we are doing this year is the Belize sculpture symposium and the Belize sculpture symposium will take place November 12 to December 10 and basically what it means is that we will have six to eight sculptors who will basically be making huge public art size sculptures and these will be placed in different locations in the country.”
For the third year Independence Day will be celebrated in the capital, Belmopan where a song composed by Frankie Reneau titled “The Hymn for Belize”. The theme for this year’s celebrations is “Honoring our History, Celebrating our Culture, Uniting for Peace.”
